The Chow Lab hosted three STEM-SI undergraduate researchers in our lab this summer! Devon Ennis (Lehigh BIOE ’25), Santiago Lazarte (FSU BME ’24), and Juan Mendoza (Lehigh MSE ’24) presented their research at the Lehigh Expo on August 3, 2023. Juan also received a poster award and gift card for his work!
